Hello guys. I want to try pure spectres build, but can't find Syndicate Operative spectres(cleared 4 hideouts and nothing). Can someone share it to me on ritual softcore?

Join /global 6666. It's the necromancer channel and many people share spectres there (no fee!)

Oh I didn't know that okay rain of stars was extremely aggravating haha

Another tip for dangerous boss fights: re-raise shield spectres. The shield timer start when you enter zone or when spectre raised. So when you raise them at different times, the shield timer is also different!

I built Flickershade full cold conversion, and in Simulacrum wave 16+ it's terrible. What's goin on? Double cluster setup. pastebin.com/qAHYbU19

Flickershade is kinda low damage (mentioned in video). Sim 16+ has stronger damage reduction, so it might be difficult :(

So what spectres do u recommend for that type of content?

I used melee spectres in deli league, so I think crabbies might be ok. They are tanky so don't die and the water fountain will do dps as well.

Other option is ranged spectre with pierce and LMP (maybe GMP but lose a lot of damage). Many people used FAS in 3.12 for Sim.

Hi everyone, I'm currently playing the minion bomber build and it's fun. I'm at the single cluster stage.

I have a question about Thunderous Salvo. Why is this considered a better anoint than Sacrifice? On its own it's just 1 more seal but without increased seal frequency it doesn't really do much. Am I playing the build wrong? Am I suppose to dodge till full seals and than cast SRS? I've tried doing that and that way you get 10 spirits max. If you spam the skill you can get many more but doing that makes the extra seal even more useless. I guess for endgame bossing it's great.

Also is it worth it to get the entire Thunderous Salvo wheel and anoint Sacrifice with the single cluster setup? Which nodes would you drop for it?

Hello. Thanks for guide.
I went Pure Spectres but I feel kind of squishy on T14+, 83 lvl Delve, end game boss fights. I just moved from single cluster to none but I don't know if any difference. Max ress except chaos, life on gear (6,4k), shield with life recover. Killed by Sirus, maybe lack of tactics knowledge but I feel like sometimes got one shooted on map clearing. What am I doing wrong?

Your character seems OK... you have good block, recovery shield and 6.4k is enough. But still need to avoid getting hit! Try to run around monster packs and use convocation to teleport spectres to you if you run into monsters.

If you still feel squishy. Can try bringing back meat shield minions. Swap Carrion Golem -> Zombies, elemental army -> Meat shield.


Move Anatomical Knowledge to near EE (it will add more life from int)
Move Uendending Hunger to top socket (doesn't need int allocated)

Sirus killed my AG. Is this an expected outcome?

In the AG clips Kay has warned you shouldn't use the AG in tough endgame battles. It is something that has been talked about through the comments, as well as several other guides, but now seems to be missing in the AG section. You can use it if you have ample knowledge of the mechanics of the boss, outstanding control of your minion skills, and very beefy numbers for their survival. I once lost a fully armed, Kingmaker AG to a tier-16 metamorph I thought didn't qualify as "endgame bossing." About 12 exes investment at the time. Never again.

I just use Dying Breath on my AG nowadays. If it dies, don't care :P

I need to put it back into AG section on forum!

After Sirus killed my budget AG, I went out and built a sturdier one with a kingmaker and mask of the stitched demon. 3 maps in my game crashed and when I came back I hadn't died but my AG was gone and couldn't be resummoned. I think I just go back to zombies for now. It's even a divergent AG and I have no idea what happened. It was just a 15 with nothing special.

You can use the old, budget version of the AG that wore a Dying Breath, Shavronne's pace, etc., very cheap uniques that still benefit your minions. In all, it shouldn't be more than a 20-40 chaos investment if you have none of the items, and don't forget to unsummon it whenever you go into endgame bosses! Once you really get the hang of them and can consistently run them deathless, you put it back in. It may also help to remember league mechanics are unbalanced (specially new ones). The Rituals are particularly packed and dangerous, especially when they include multiple bosses. I can't stress this enough: Play safe.

wasteed 4 ex to this build and im still dying on t12 maps. What im doing wrong?

I've used this build since its first version and it has led me to endgame without problems in every single update. This league my investment has been about 2 exes. I always prioritize safe game: Stack all the health and defensive passives in the tree, wear high-life gear, use long-range spectres, stone golem, etc. Hell, this version of the build is even more defensive (the starter one, of course) since it turned zombies into meat shields rather than the aggressive option with feeding frenzy and elemental army (which I still use deathless in juiced up tier-16s). Do you throw the brand from afar? Are you under constant effect of your flasks? Do you have bone barrier set as your automatic left click skill? The way Kay plays in the videos is for speed-running, using mostly melee spectres and an endgame setup (which is expensive). You don't have to run head first into mobs, speeding through the maps. If you find yourself dying, reassess all of the previously mentioned things, play safer.

Hi, I had a fine time leveling this build up to maps but now that I've sunk a bunch of currency into the gear I still don't see how my specter dps is gonna go up to 10x what it currently is even if I have the max level support gems and get a grip of the council. Is there something I'm missing here? My current stuff: https://pastebin.com/GhejRLtR
